I can't remember the details but i am pretty sure i read somewhere that you can make 2 transactions from the same address with the same bitcoins but only one of them gets confirmed, (both get listed on the  blockchain, till one gets a confirmation) by adding more fee for one transaction than the other. Isn't there something like this?

But from what i see, every transaction gets a confirmation somehow, so there isn't any fakes. (the term i was talking about is probably; "doublespend")
Those are double spend transactions, not "fake" transactions. Please do not use that misleading term again. This is also not the case with what is going on.

Transactions is still counting bigger and bigger.  Really don't know what the owner is doing and what's his/her purpose?

No. Transactions    773595    
Total Received    326,088.77442348 BTC    
Final Balance    368.78299926 BTC    
As I've previously stated, it is likely:
1) Someone storing data on the blockchain via OP_RETURN.
2) Someone spamming to promote the BU garbage.

One can't really know without asking the person creating them and/or the miner who is mining most of them.

Some of the transactions are already got confirmations so they are not fake transactions, that's for sure.
What are "fake transactions" in this context?

Most probably one of the many addresses being used to spam the network. These people are trying to fill the mempool to simulate congestion

and to feed their hidden agendas. If it looks like the network is congested, the miners fees goes up and the miners laugh all the way to the bank.

We might never know who is behind these attacks, but we know what is driving them to do it. {greed}  Angry

Three potential explanations:
1) A SPAM attack to promote a rushed need for a hard fork (hint: there is none).
2) A means of transferring/storing some sort of data.
3) Other *usage* of the chain (e.g. There was something about the Komodo federation not long ago, where they essentially spammed us with thousands of transactions).

Some of the transactions are already got confirmations so they are not fake transactions, that's for sure.

You can start by addressing a pm to the guy that owns it:)
Although he hasn't been around for a long time.

That's not his address: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13742145

Looks like a spam attack to me? Or, The owner's PC may have a trojan and he isn't aware of what's going on maybe. Other than that it doesn't make any sense.

I found an interesting thing by coincidence, I found these two addresses keep transfering BTC between each other day after day:


I guess they may be change address for each other, but I am curious if fees is not the wallet owner's concern?
